Due (All): Literary Analysis Draft
Review- Firework
Go over Lit Analysis Rubric
Paper Peer Conferencing/Revisions
If you have at least an introduction and two body paragraphs completed --> Print a copy of your paper as it currently stands.
If you are NOT prepared for today's peer conference, work on your draft. You will need to go through the peer conference process on your own before the paper is due Thursday.
Peer conference
Exchange papers with at least two other people and evaluate your peer's papers based on the first page of the rubric for the essay.
As an evaluator, you are looking for the criteria on the rubric and how your peer's paper measures up. BE HONEST. If something is missing from your peer's paper, tell them! Make suggestions for improvement!
When you are done evaluating based on the rubric, look for things that you peer can change grammar, punctuation, citations, etc- wise.
When finished with both peer revisions, start making some changes to your paper!!!!
